[color=daa520]"Harbinger of Light, what is it that brings you here?"[/color] Iona turned to Torag as he entered her domain. After listening to his report, she rose to her feet. [color=daa520]"I feared that this could happen if someone as prone for betrayal as Miyu was left alone with the Demons."[/color] Iona was meditating on the consequences of their failure to rescue Miyu. Now the whole security of the Heavens was at jeopardy because they were too slow to act. [color=daa520]"Next time, I'll handle these issues personally. As long as I'm allowed to by Him."[/color] Iona's cryotic words were said more to herself than Torag, though.

Anyway, in but a moment she snapped back to reality, sending a message to all she deemed that would be of use on this uncalled for conflict. [color=daa520]"Angels of Heaven, the sanctity of our previous victory stands at the face of jeopardy by a coward attack of the Demons of Hell and Machina of Mankind to our vaults at Alt Signia, backed by the traitorous angel Miyu. All who hear this message, present yourselves at the Seraphic Gates and get ready to defend our honor and our home, under the command of the Harbinger of Light and the Divine Deputy. Make no mistake, if you come across the traitor, show her no mercy, for her demonic allies shall show you none!"[/color] At Iona's command, Celestia flared to life, a hastily assembled force running to the Seraphic Gates, ready to teleport to Alt Signia. Perhaps that was not the most impressive of armies, but it would have to make do for the time being. Faith was an Angel's sword and resolve their shield, after all. Numbers mattered not in face fo such power.

[color=daa520]"I shall assist on the recovery of the Claw of Heavens. She'll be ready to join the conflict in but a moment. For the time being, I want you to lead our forces, Harbinger of Light, show them the wrath of heavens."[/color] Iona laid a hand over Torag's shoulder, nodding silently before turning around to take her leave and meet up with Diana at the Healing Pools. However, she stopped briefly and said, without turning back, [color=daa520]"This will be a battle fought to the last man standing. Our only chance of victory is getting rid of all the opposition. Sadly, I can't lend you my power, but I trust that your righteous fury will make up for it. Furthermore,"[/color] Iona's voice dropped to a barely audible whisper as she said her last piece before leaving Torag, [color=daa520]"Eclipse Princess will take part of that fight. Keep an eye on her, while her loyalty is not questionable, like Miyu, she's a loose cannon. Powerful, but far too hard to aim. Keep that in mind."[/color]

[color=daa520]"May the Light be with you!"[/color]
